Sean Penn wanted more sex with James Franco?
According to the New York Post, "Milk" star James Franco says his costar Sean Penn pushed the gay sex scenes in the Harvey Milk biopic further than he ever expected.
"In the original script I read, there was only one real kissing scene," Franco reportedly tells next month's Elle.
"A month after [director] Gus [Van Sant] asked me to do it, they sent me another script, and on Page 5 there was a full-on love scene.
And I was like, 'Gus, what the heck?'
He says, 'Well, it was Sean's idea.' "
Oh, Sean, you little scamp!
But then again, can you blame him?
Is that why he texted Madonna about his first man kiss?

I was in San Francisco City Hall the day of the assassinations, at the candlelight march that night, and at later services that week and the White night riots. Van Sant has captured the feelings we all had at that time brilliantly. My 2 roommates on Pine street and I were on crying jags all week over this, everybody was, it is great to now see the man we lost so skillfully celebrated.
